Death Row

[Choccies]

Got the heads up on his/her last supper Choccies?

Fair bet they're backing the deep fryer in I'd say from past read-ups on last suppers.....
Rumours that a sales rep from A1 sauce had been hanging around too.... (pardon the pun...)

I worked at the Old Adelaide Gaol for a short time and loved all of the crime stories told to me by Volunteers who are ex prison officers(screws). One told me a particular story about when the last person was hung in SA. He was a horrible man and caused alot of trouble through out the Gaol whilstlocked up. When it was his turn to be hung, they accidentally made the rope to long so when they dropped him the first time he broke both legs. Then pulled him up and dropped him properly.

Its a fantastic place for a visit if you are a crime/prison etc buff like many on here have demonstrated. They run guided tours with well educated guides with some being ex prisoners and ex screws or you can walk around yourself. They also hold ghost tours at night and used to do sleep overs but i think that has been stopped now. If you get one of the ex cons or screws you get some great stories. Its a place that in some areas the hair on the back of you neck stands up for no apparent reason and you get a feeling of being watched when walking through the 2 story cell blocks. (to think i used to open and close that place up on my own as a 19year old) Definately Recommend it! Since working there i have found my self fascinated by CI channel, Americas's hardest prsions also Ross Kemp on Gangs!

Was lucky enough to be over playing basketball in the states when I was a teenager and squeezed in a visit to the island and have been fascinated with it all since then. The cold cells, the history that you could almost smell.... it just sent you off in your own little world as you wandered around trying to soak it all in... I can still picture it in my head now..

Thats exactly it..... You walk around these places and think to yourself "imagine being in here" you look at the conditions and imagine being locked in a cell with a bloke you dont know who is obviously not an upstanding citizen. Then you get let out into the yard and get shanked haha

One of the ex screws i worked with said there was very rarely any trouble at Adelaide Gaol while he was there and he never carried a batton. He said that way the crims didnt feel as though he would miss use it and aways was polite to them cos they didnt like being in there as much as you hate coming to work everday.

An ex con who was in the Gaol while the last execution took place said it was the strangest Day of his life. The Gaol was locked down he was in the cell with his celly and the bell just rang constantly. The usually noisy cell blocked was dead silent and once the bell stopped (sgnalling that the inmate was offically Dead) many of the prisoners cried. He said he would never expereince the same feeling ever again! If you get Trevor as a tour guide you will want to go back every weekend

If anyone is interested and has a free Sunday i could organise a tour through the Gaol?

Will look into it, but the guy has been waiting since 1999 for today to come around.

Man, I'd want it done asap.

Have a quick look, most of them have educations that stop at year 7,8 and 9.

Which is why Port supporters don't favour the death penalty.

Here's some info on Florida's Death Row dudes;

[Booney]

Death Row inmates are served meals three times a day: at 5:00 am, from 10:30 am to 11:00 am and from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm. Food is prepared by prison staff and transported in insulated carts to the cells. Inmates are allowed plates and spoons to eat their meals. Prior to execution, an inmate may request a last meal. To avoid extravagance, the food to prepare the last meal must cost no more than $40 and must be purchased locally.


No Cray for dinner then?

The missus says to thank you for finding her lost twin 'gdb'.
Fort Battle-Axe is on the phone right now to arrange a visitation. They want to compare notes.
Very competitive family apparently.
Cheers,
SABRE.


p.s. Doesn't everyone's wife keep butcher's knives hanging over the bed ?
